Do Enlightened Masters Really Know Everything?

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Does enlightenment mean knowing everything—or is that one of the biggest misconceptions about an enlightened master?

In this episode of Conversations with a Master, Sadhvi Siddhali Shree asks Acharya Shree Yogeesh what “supreme knowledge” really means after enlightenment.

If an enlightened being possesses pure or supreme knowledge, should they be able to answer every question, speak every language, predict every disaster, cure every illness, and solve every problem in the world?

Acharya Shree explains that enlightenment and ordinary human information are not the same thing.

When the soul becomes fully awakened, he describes supreme knowledge as being revealed. But as long as an enlightened being remains in a physical body, that body still functions as a limited instrument.

The senses are limited.

Language is limited.

Expression is limited.

An enlightened master may perceive far more than the physical instrument can communicate.

As Acharya Shree puts it, knowing and expressing are two different things.

He compares it to looking at a vast night sky. You may see countless stars at once, but that does not mean you can individually describe every star you are seeing.

This distinction also challenges the belief that enlightened masters should solve all of humanity’s problems.

Sadhvi Siddhali asks why wars, disasters, disease, and suffering still occur if enlightened beings possess such extraordinary awareness.

Acharya Shree explains that enlightened masters do not override the karma of every living being. Their purpose is not to control the world.

Yet he teaches that their very presence can have an influence. Rather than consciously interfering, the positive energy and expanded consciousness of enlightened beings may naturally reduce the intensity of suffering around them.

The conversation then turns toward what an enlightened state actually feels like.

Acharya Shree describes enlightenment as revealing the true nature of the soul rather than acquiring something that was previously absent. Some people laugh when realization happens because they suddenly recognize that what they were searching for had always been within them.

Others become deeply silent.

Acharya Shree discusses Mook Kevali—enlightened beings who do not publicly teach or who are unable to express the magnitude of their realization through language.

Not every enlightened master becomes a speaker, teacher, or public spiritual figure.

Sadhvi Siddhali also asks whether enlightenment is experienced differently in male and female bodies.

Acharya Shree strongly rejects the idea that enlightenment belongs primarily to men. Drawing from Jain teachings, he explains that male, female, and third-gender bodies all possess the potential for enlightenment.

The historical lack of recognized female masters, he argues, has more to do with culture and male-dominated societies than spiritual capacity.

The soul itself is beyond gender.

The episode ultimately dismantles several popular ideas about enlightenment: that it means possessing unlimited worldly information, that every enlightened person must teach, that masters are responsible for preventing suffering, or that realization belongs more naturally to one gender.

Enlightenment, Acharya Shree explains, is first and foremost the revelation of the soul’s true nature.

Why Spirituality Shouldn’t Be So Serious

Mon, 7 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Can you be deeply committed to the spiritual path without becoming rigid, judgmental, or joyless?

The episode begins with a playful question from Sadhvi Siddhali Shree: has there ever been a comedian enlightened master?

Acharya Shree Yogeesh’s answer is immediate: all enlightened masters are comedians.

From there, the conversation explores a surprisingly important question—why do spiritual seekers sometimes become so serious that they lose the joy, openness, and freedom spirituality is supposed to create?

Acharya Shree explains that discipline is necessary. A seeker who never takes the path seriously may remain on the surface. But discipline and tension are not the same thing.

When spiritual practice becomes rigid, forced, or obsessive, a person can become like a swan trying to swim against the current—putting forth enormous effort while barely moving forward.

The goal, Acharya Shree says, is to flow with the flow.

Sadhvi Siddhali reflects on her own early spiritual journey, when becoming serious about the path also made her more extreme. This leads into a broader discussion about judgment. A seeker may stop drinking, eating meat, or participating in certain behaviors and then begin focusing on everyone who still does.

Acharya Shree challenges this directly. If your attention is constantly on what other people are doing wrong, where is your own sadhana?

Spirituality is not about feeling superior. It is about working on yourself.

The conversation then turns toward five areas Acharya Shree says can create significant inner tension when attachment becomes too strong: wealth, relationships, marriage, children, and business. These parts of life do not have to be rejected, but they can become sources of worry, control, fear, and suffering when a person becomes completely identified with them.

That leads into one of the deepest themes of the episode: love versus attachment.

Acharya Shree does not teach people to stop loving their families. He teaches them to remove ownership and possessiveness from love.

Attachment says, “You belong to me.”

Pure love allows freedom.

In attachment, separation creates intense suffering, expectations create hurt, and jealousy or possessiveness can easily arise. In pure love, care remains—but ownership begins to disappear.

Non-attachment, he emphasizes, does not mean becoming cold, numb, or indifferent.

It means learning how to love without trying to possess.

Acharya Shree also explains that even attachment to something sacred can become an obstacle. He shares the Jain example of Mahavir and his chief disciple Indrabhuti Gautam to illustrate how attachment to the physical presence of a spiritual master can still interfere with liberation.

The larger teaching of the episode is freedom.

Spiritual growth should not make you heavier.

It should gradually release rigidity, judgment, possessiveness, and unnecessary suffering.

For Acharya Shree, the closer love becomes to pure love, the closer the seeker moves toward enlightenment.

How to Stay Spiritual in a Toxic Workplace

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

How do you stay spiritual when the people around you are difficult, negative, or constantly testing your peace?

In this episode of Conversations with a Master, Sadhvi Siddhali Shree asks Acharya Shree Yogeesh how spirituality can actually be practiced in the workplace—where difficult bosses, negative coworkers, criticism, stress, and uncomfortable conversations are often unavoidable.

Acharya Shree begins with the idea that work itself can be divine. When a person works peacefully and willingly rather than with resentment and force, even ordinary work can become part of spiritual life.

The greater challenge is learning not to absorb the negativity of others.

Acharya Shree uses the image of someone throwing a bucket of mud onto your clothes. The mud may be thrown once, but the mind can keep replaying the incident for hours, days, or even months. The person who hurt you may already have moved on, while you continue carrying the emotional residue.

His advice is to “change your clothes” internally: clean yourself, let the incident go, and refuse to allow someone else’s behavior to keep polluting your mind.

Sadhvi Siddhali asks whether being spiritual means always staying quiet. What happens when you need to stand up for yourself, challenge a boss, or respond to unfair treatment?

Acharya Shree’s answer is one of the central teachings of the episode: be your own boss.

For him, being your own boss means remaining in control of yourself. If another person’s criticism immediately controls your thoughts, emotions, and reactions, you have handed your inner authority to them.

Spirituality does not mean weakness, and it does not mean accepting unlimited mistreatment. Acharya Shree distinguishes between occasional negativity and situations that become continually harmful or abusive. Sometimes letting go is appropriate; at other times, a person may need to establish boundaries or leave.

The conversation then turns toward self-reflection. Acharya Shree reminds seekers how easy it is to spend life observing everyone else’s faults while avoiding their own. Real spirituality brings attention back inward: work on yourself first.

Sadhvi Siddhali also asks about the difference between ordinary criticism and the correction given by a true spiritual teacher. Acharya Shree compares a master to a potter who supports a clay pot with one hand while striking and reshaping it with the other.

What appears harsh from the outside may actually be correction supported by compassion.

The episode concludes with a practical spiritual practice for people entering negative environments. Acharya Shree recommends repeating Namo Arihantanam while visualizing white light surrounding the body as a form of spiritual protection before going to work.

Other people may not change.

The spiritual practice is learning how not to lose yourself because of them.

AI, Spirituality & the Future of Human Intelligence

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Can artificial intelligence help us spiritually—or can it slowly take us further away from ourselves?

AI is already changing the way people work, communicate, create, learn, and even search for spiritual answers. In this episode of Conversations with a Master, Sadhvi Siddhali Shree asks Acharya Shree Yogeesh how spirituality can remain alive in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and technology.

Acharya Shree begins with a clear distinction between artificial intelligence and real intelligence. AI can organize information, assist with work, answer questions, and become an extremely useful tool. But he warns against allowing technology to replace the human intellect needed to think, question, reflect, and search inwardly.

His advice is simple: use AI as a servant, not as a master.

The danger, according to Acharya Shree, is not technology itself but dependence on it. When people stop exercising their own minds and begin relying on artificial systems for everything, technology can become another form of addiction. The more dependent a person becomes, the easier it may be to lose the inner independence required for spiritual growth.

Sadhvi Siddhali shares her own tension around AI. As a filmmaker and longtime user of technology, she sees its enormous potential for editing, creativity, and spreading spiritual teachings. At the same time, she does not want convenience to weaken her own awareness or spiritual discipline.

Acharya Shree encourages spiritual seekers—and especially future monks and teachers—to understand the technology of their time. Spiritual teachers cannot reach future generations if they have no understanding of the world those generations inhabit. The goal is not to reject AI, but to know it, use it, and still remain separate from it inwardly.

Their conversation also explores Acharya Shree’s interpretation of Kali Yuga as an age increasingly dominated by machinery. He warns that the deepest danger is not simply technological advancement, but reaching a point where human beings become so identified with technology that they forget who they are.

At the same time, he sees possibility. As technology grows, spiritual thirst may also grow. People may have unprecedented access to information, entertainment, convenience, and artificial intelligence while still sensing that something fundamental is missing.

Ultimately, Acharya Shree describes AI as both a blessing and a potential curse. It can help humanity tremendously when used consciously. But it cannot replace the soul, direct spiritual experience, or enlightenment.

No matter how sophisticated artificial intelligence becomes, he says, AI itself cannot become enlightened.

Why You’re Not Seeing Results on the Spiritual Path

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

What do you do when you are sincerely practicing—but you still feel like nothing is changing?

You meditate. You breathe. You repeat mantras. You study. You practice spiritual techniques. You put in the effort.

And yet, sometimes it can feel as though you are not getting anywhere.

In this episode, host Sadhvi Siddhali Shree asks her longtime spiritual teacher, Acharya Shree Yogeesh, why spiritual students can practice wholeheartedly and still struggle to see the results of their efforts.

Acharya Shree explains that one of the biggest misunderstandings about spirituality is expecting immediate results.

He compares the spiritual path to a student sitting for an examination. The student studies, answers the questions, and completes the work—but does not receive the result immediately. In the same way, spiritual practice may already be producing change even when the practitioner cannot yet recognize it.

Spirituality, Acharya Shree says, is a slow process.

Trying to rush it can actually become an obstacle.

He encourages seekers to stop performing spiritual practices solely for the result and instead learn to enjoy the practice itself. When expectation is hidden underneath the effort, a person may become discouraged because the transformation does not happen according to their preferred timeline.

Sometimes the people around you may even notice the change before you do.

The conversation then explores one of the most common traps on the spiritual path: comparison.

Why does one student appear to progress quickly while another practices just as sincerely and seems to struggle?

Acharya Shree explains that no two spiritual journeys begin from the same place. One person may have been working toward the same goal over many lifetimes, while another may be much earlier in their journey. Their karma, spiritual history, and previous effort may all be different.

Comparing two seekers, therefore, can create an incomplete picture.

Acharya Shree uses examples from spiritual history to emphasize how long transformation can take, describing the extended journeys attributed to figures such as Mahavira and Krishna. His message is not to become discouraged by the length of the path, but to understand that spiritual realization cannot be forced into a human timetable.

From there, Sadhvi Siddhali asks Acharya Shree what qualities a serious spiritual student needs in order to continue.

He identifies five supreme qualities:

Supreme patience.
The ability to continue even when the result is not visible.

Supreme confidence.
Confidence in your path and your ability to eventually reach your goal, regardless of what others say.

Supreme strength.
Both mental and physical strength, because deeper spiritual practice requires the body and mind to support one another.

Supreme trust.
Trust in yourself and in the path you have chosen, rather than depending entirely on the approval of other people.

Supreme will.
The inner determination to keep moving forward.

Acharya Shree says that when these qualities become strong, a seeker becomes much more difficult to pull away from the spiritual path.

The conversation then moves into a more personal question: What is the hidden fear many spiritual students carry?

Acharya Shree says one of the strongest fears is worrying about what family, friends, and society will think if the seeker does not appear successful.

What if people think you failed?

What if they question the path you chose?

What if your spiritual life does not look impressive from the outside?

Acharya Shree challenges seekers to stop building their spiritual lives around those judgments. The spiritual journey, he says, is deeply individual.

Sadhvi Siddhali asks whether a person must leave society in order to become deeply spiritual or enlightened. Acharya Shree says no. He shares examples from spiritual tradition to illustrate that realization can happen even while living as a householder or remaining within society.

The issue is not simply where you live.

It is whether you allow the opinions and distractions of the world to control your inner direction.

The conversation becomes even more personal when Sadhvi Siddhali asks Acharya Shree about the length of his own spiritual journey. He describes it as extending across thousands of years and many spiritually dedicated lives, reinforcing the larger teaching of the episode: real spiritual growth takes time.

For seekers who admire a master and want to imitate that person’s path exactly, Acharya Shree gives another warning.

Do not imitate.

Every person has a different body, different strength, different limitations, and a different journey.

Instead, he advises students to work according to their own capacity and gradually develop the qualities they need.

Your goal may feel incredibly far away.

And at the same time, it may be closer than you think.

The episode ends with Acharya Shree challenging the entire idea of being obsessed with time. Rather than measuring spirituality in hours, years, or lifetimes, he encourages seekers to continue moving, continue practicing, and allow the journey to unfold.

Flow with the flow.

For Acharya Shree, that is part of spirituality itself.

Can You Walk the Spiritual Path Alone?

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt alone on the spiritual path?

You may read spiritual books, practice yoga, meditate, listen to teachings, and genuinely want to grow—yet still feel as though you are not getting very far.

In this episode, host Sadhvi Siddhali Shree reflects on that experience from her own life. Before meeting Acharya Shree Yogeesh, she was deeply interested in spirituality and trying to learn on her own. When they first met, Acharya Shree told her something that would become central to her journey: spiritual guidance is important.

But why?

Acharya Shree explains that guidance exists in almost every area of life. We seek teachers in school, experts in business, and advice from parents and mentors. Yet he says spiritual guidance may be even more important because the path itself is often invisible. A seeker is trying to discover something they cannot yet clearly see, making it easy to become confused, distracted, or lost.

Their conversation explores one of the most common experiences on the spiritual path: the intense excitement of beginning.

A new seeker may want to transform immediately, renounce everything, or even reach enlightenment as quickly as possible. But Acharya Shree explains that excitement does not last. What matters is becoming steady.

As he tells Sadhvi Siddhali, spiritual progress requires continuity. Moving too quickly, becoming overly ambitious, or abandoning the path when enthusiasm fades can create setbacks. Spiritual growth is not necessarily about progressing fast—it is about continuing.

Sadhvi Siddhali asks what happens to people who seem deeply committed at first but later drift away because of family, work, responsibilities, or the demands of ordinary life. Acharya Shree explains that they may not have abandoned spirituality completely. Their progress may simply become slower because their attention is divided.

The spiritual seed may still be there.

This becomes one of the central teachings of the episode.

Acharya Shree describes his role as planting spiritual seeds. A person may hear a teaching today and appear unaffected. They may resist it, disagree with it, or even walk away. Yet years later, something may happen that causes that teaching to suddenly become meaningful.

The seed was already planted.

According to Acharya Shree, what determines when it begins to grow can include circumstance, readiness, karma, destiny, and the person’s own nature.

He also warns against using spirituality as an escape from worldly responsibilities. Someone may sincerely want to renounce everything in search of peace or enlightenment, but if unfinished responsibilities continue occupying the mind, physical renunciation alone will not create inner freedom.

Spiritual guidance helps a person understand when to move, when to wait, and when to allow the seed to grow naturally.

The conversation also explores what happens when a person becomes deeply in tune with a teaching. Acharya Shree describes how listeners sometimes feel as though a teaching is speaking directly to them. That sense of recognition can indicate that something within them is becoming receptive to truth.

Even resistance can have meaning. A person may react strongly to a spiritual message and reject it completely, only to understand it differently years later.

The discussion then moves into a deeper question: What is truth?

Acharya Shree explains truth not simply as telling the truth instead of lying, but as the inherent nature of something—the quality that belongs to it fundamentally.

In the same way that water naturally flows, he says the truth of a human being is found by discovering their own deepest nature.

The problem is that people continually search outside themselves.

The real spiritual search is ultimately about becoming familiar with who you truly are.

The episode concludes with Sadhvi Siddhali asking about taking refuge in a spiritual master and developing friendship with an enlightened teacher.

Acharya Shree explains that the company we keep influences what we become. Just as spending time around certain habits and environments can shape a person negatively, remaining close to a true spiritual master can gradually transform the seeker.

Spiritual guidance, then, is not simply receiving instructions.

It is walking alongside someone who can see the path more clearly than you can—and remaining close enough to eventually discover that truth for yourself.

Conversations With A Master - A new podcast with Acharya Shree

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Before awakening often comes a moment that breaks the life we thought we understood.

What causes someone to begin searching for truth? Is suffering necessary for spiritual awakening, or can a person enter the spiritual path without experiencing deep pain?

In this opening conversation, host Sadhvi Siddhali Shree sits down with her longtime spiritual teacher, Acharya Shree Yogeesh, to examine why hardship so often becomes the beginning of a spiritual search.

Acharya Shree explains that suffering alone does not guarantee transformation. When pain becomes overwhelming, it can produce hopelessness rather than curiosity. At the opposite extreme, a life filled entirely with comfort and pleasure may give a person little reason to question anything. Spiritual curiosity often awakens in the middle—when someone has experienced enough pain to question life but still has the capacity to search, learn, and change.

Sadhvi Siddhali shares the personal experiences that shaped her path, including the death of her mother when she was thirteen, the questions about life and purpose that followed, meeting Acharya Shree at twenty, and later struggling to hold on to her spirituality while serving in the Iraq War.

Their conversation also explores why people often fail to value a teacher, relationship, or sacred place while it is still present; how karma and spiritual readiness can make one sentence, book, or encounter change a person’s entire life; and why spiritual progress does not mean suffering immediately disappears.

Acharya Shree describes authentic spirituality as an expansion of awareness—learning to recognize yourself in other people, animals, nature, and every living being. The spiritual path is not something another person can force upon you. It begins when you consciously choose to walk it.

In this episode:

Is suffering required for spiritual awakening?
Why extreme happiness can also prevent spiritual growth
The difference between pain that awakens curiosity and pain that creates hopelessness
Why some people transform after loss while others return to old patterns
How karma, destiny, and spiritual readiness influence the search for truth
Sadhvi Siddhali’s experience of loss, spiritual discovery, and deployment to Iraq
Why familiarity can cause us to undervalue what is sacred
How expectations can obstruct spiritual expansion
The role of spiritual practice in removing karma and illusion
Why real spirituality means connecting with every living being

Paryushan 2023, Day 8: The Jewels of Paryushan and Higher Meditation

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

On the final day of Paryushan, Acharya Shree reminds us to practice forgiveness. So as long as we hold on to regret, guilt, resentment, anger, ego, etc. then it will continue to block us for the rest of life. Clear your karma. Wake up so you don't keep collecting karma. Practice awareness. Block all of your open sources. Ask forgiveness from all living beings. Forgive yourself. When you forgive yourself and others, when you are friends with all living beings, you will be free one day.

The highest state of meditation is realizing, "I am alone. I don't belong to others. And others are not mine." The person who thinks that way will be pure, awakened and live in a total state of aliveness.

Acharya Shree describes the different levels and mindsets of meditation and how to achieve the soul-state of meditation, Samadhi.

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Often times we don't accept challenges because of fear of failure. Fear is one of the biggest blockages on the path - for society and the spiritual one.

People need challenges in order to get stronger. Don't be afraid of the struggle. If it's only easy, then there is no joy. You must enjoy and value the path and that comes through the struggle. You can feel the win of overcoming your karma and ego, because you experience soul more. Always face and accept your challenges, especially the ones on the spiritual path. Who is afraid can't move forward.

Acharya Shree breaks down the 25 blockages of meditation, real meditation. He also shares the story of Tirthankar Mallibhai, a female Tirthankar and Enlightened Master, who was the fastest to attain enlightenment as a Tirthankar.

our mind, our five senses, and ego, greediness, anger, deceitfulness and anger. If you win over 1, you win over 5, and you win over 10.

We are constantly bothered by the mind and so the mind needs to be renounced. Desires of the mind and senses never end. They keep you in illusion, fantasy, emotions and desires, which all lead to suffering.

Through renouncing what you hear, what you taste, what you smell, what you see, what you touch, and you're not into these things, your soul becomes freer and free. The problem is that the senses have so much power and the soul is weak. When you really renounce these things, as a monk or householder, you become free. Soul is waiting for you, to help free it. Will you start taking the real steps towards that? What will it take?

In the Paryushan Series of 2023, Acharya Shree focuses on Meditation and sharing tips, techniques and teachings to help you arrive at your self. The path to Godhood is through the human body, are you ready for it?

Paryushan 2023, Day 5: Transcending Suffering & Burning Karma

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh initially focused on the Namokar mantra, the power of it and what it really means with an-indepth dive into each line of the universal mantra. A mantra is a divine sound which creates spiritual, positive, healing and protective energy. Some mantras have the power to dissolve a lot of karma.

Start your journey where you are. Never try to be someone else. Do not get trapped into the illusion of beauty. Be happy with yourself as you are now, and as you are begin your spiritual journey. We continue to imitate others in this world, it's an illusion to be others. Be yourself. Love and appreciate your soul.

Consider your body a rental home: it's not yours, but you have to take care of it. Use it as you need it. The biggest deceiver is the body. Learn how to meditate and detach from the body, then you'll begin to know your real self, soul, more and more.

Paryushan 2023, Day 4: Spiritual Liberation, Ego Destruction and Meditation Techniques

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree continues his deep dive into soul and meditation. There are two things eternal, soul and matter. Matter has 5 elements and matter is also karma. Soul + Matter = jivatma (a living being); Soul - Matter = paraatma (God); thus Soul is God.

An inner click and awakening are glimpses into the soul where you begin to realize the non-truth of the world and the truth of your soul. When the clicks are too strong, it's difficult to continue living in illusion because now you've connected to soul. But the journey doesn't stop there, you must begin to work on your lower qualities, especially your ego.

The ego blocks all the souls light, so it is important to start dissolving it. Ego is the real sin and keeps you away from soul. When you meditate and enter the higher states of meditation and consciousness you realize more and more you are soul and not the mind. That is how to dissolve your ego. Unless you are in a higher state the ego will control and ruin your life.

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Mon, 9 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The har truth is: People continue to get lost over and over again. The real purpose of this human life is only one thing: to know who you really are. If you are focused on other things, then you are wasting your life. Are you wasting your life in desires or are you focused on your soul?

Paryushan 2023, Day 2: Diving into the Soul: Exploring the Role of Meditation in Paryushan

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Fri, 6 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Paryushan is a celebration that promotes and support spiritual strength, fasting, reflection, and deepened experiences of the soul. We forget how valuable, precious and priceless we are. We don't value ourselves and our soul, and we blame God for everything. People want spirituality, they want the easy path and they don't want to take responsibility for anything. Spirituality requires a lot of will, courage, confidence and strength.

Acharya Shree suggests that meditation is one of the fastest ways, along with fasting, to burn karma because meditation, the real meditation, is a fire. He suggests to people to DIVORCE the WORLD and be with soul. Meditation is the real prayer - no asking, no listening, just being. Can you experience it?

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 4 Oct 2023 13:00:00 +0000

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Health and spirituality are two essential aspects of our lives that are often intertwined.

Paryushan 2022 - Day 8 - The Importance of Criticizing and Analyzing Yourself

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 1 Feb 2023 21:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree reminds us that when there is a lack of awareness, karma is collected. On the last day of Paryushan, Acharya Shree reminds us of the importance of self-criticism on the path. It's very easy to point out someone else's shortcomings, but very difficult to see our own. "No one is worst than me," is Acharya Shree's suggested guidance. If we think we are the worst one, we are putting ourselves down, crushing our own ego. Thinking this way is a fast way to burn a lot of karma -- it doesn't feel good, but neither does karma which keeps you in the cycle of birth and death. When you totally surrender, you can truly love yourself.

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 12:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree suggest to be wise so that you're not an enemy to people. And if by chance people criticize you, see if there's any truth to what they're saying, see if you have any shortcomings -- it is uncomfortable, but it's part of seeking out if there's any truth to what they're saying. That is how you grow. Even if someone criticizes you, it doesn't mean to become affected by it. Learn. If you're affected, you're weaker and crippled. Be strong, brave, and courageous to see yourself.

Acharya Shree says that if you kill any animal before it's destined time to die, you will suffer the karmic consequences and the soul you killed will suffer even more because they come lost souls. Euthanasia is not considered non-violence.

Ep. 27 - Abortion: A Spiritual Master's opinion

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 1 Jun 2022 19:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh focuses on another sensitive and controversial topic: abortion. In general, whenever there is killing involved, karma is collected. The amount of karma collected depends on the intention -- were they forced to have an abortion, were they raped, or is it a result of being careless and escaping responsibility?

Acharya Shree Yogeesh defines what real forgiveness is and suggests how to forgive.

Forgiveness means having no anger and no guilt. In the video learn how to forgive others and forgive yourself.

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 13:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh explains how a seeker needs to learn how to discipline and have control over the 5 senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing.

Paryushan 2021 - Day 3 - The Three Thorns of Misery: Body, Mind and Speech

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 3 Nov 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh, on the third day of Paryushan, talks about the trishula (a weapon that has 3 thorns), which represent the body, mind and speech. The body, if not taken care of, becomes unhealthy and prevents spiritual growth. A healthy body is required for spirituality. Abusive, negative language creates a thorn in your life and others. A disturbed, unbalanced or negative mind creates a thorn in your path as it may take you on the wrong direction. By discipling your thoughts, actions, and speech your spiritual life will totally change. In addition, Acharya Shree continues the questions and answer session of Chapter 29 in the Uttaradhayana.

Ep 22. - How to Connect to Soul, Flow & Be Present

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 2 Dec 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh touches on dualism, caused by ignorance, to answer the question on how one can connect to their soul. By mentioning the word "connect" it insinuates that the soul is disconnected from us, even though we are alive because of soul. Acharya Shree encourages seekers to flow and be in the present -- when you flow, you are soul. Resistance, stress, tension, emotions, and the mind keep us from flowing. Acharya Shree encourages individuals to be confident, that they can overcome anything, and then no situation, challenge, etc. can make you lose your balance. With real confidence, one continues to flow in soul and in the present.

Ep. 21 - Inviting Karma, Waking Up the Soul, and Becoming Enlightened

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 4 Nov 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh sheds light on the need to discipline our minds and senses as they block the soul's awakening and the path to enlightenment and liberation. Every pore of the body, when the soul is awakened, can taste, hear, see, smell, touch; however, the clouds of karmic keep one from experience such high levels of consciousness. Acharya Shree also discusses that it is possible to get enlightened in this current life, though one must go through the difficult process of inviting karma so it can be burned. It's not necessary the body one has has the power and strength to burn a lot of karma. He discourages hurting your body in attempting to grow spirituality as it may make your body weak or make the mind go crazy. Guidance is especially important on this journey. Enlightenment is not predictable -- neither God nor a master can tell you with 100% certainty because even in the last moment, you can lose it.

Paryushan 2020 - Day 8 - Path of Brahmacharya

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Most people understand the Path of Brahmacharya as the Path of Celibacy. According to Acharya Shree Yogeesh, this translation is incomplete. Acharya Shree challenges people to see the Path of Brahmacharya as abstaining from everything that keeps you away from the soul -- not just lust or sex. Brahmacharya needs to be understood versus controlled. When you control, there is tension, but when you understand, you accept and flow. It's important to have a discipline of your senses and be aware of temptations that take you off the path. Acharya Shree wraps up the 8-day Paryushan 2020 series and reminds us that right vision, right knowledge, and right conduct lead to liberation.

Paryushan 2020 - Day 7 - Paths of Renunciation & Non-Possession

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree describes the paths of renunciation and non-possession, which go together. According to Acharya Shree, the great people renounce the world. It is important to renounce which is not you or yours -- your anger, emotions, thoughts, negativities, and lower qualities. Renunciation is freedom. Even people who do not have any possessions can still renounce. It's an inner phenomenon and lifestyle. The path of non-possession is also important for the spiritual path. It doesn't mean to live a life of poverty, it means to not be attached to inner and outer things, people, and situations. All possessions control you and can cause you stress. When you become non-attached and non-possessive, you are always satisfied, live in peace, and experience freedom.

Paryushan 2020 - Day 6 - Paths of Discipline & Spiritual Practices

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives into paths of discipline which helps keep the senses and mind-controlled by the soul. Discipline is the key to enlightenment and liberation because without it your body, mind, addictions, senses, thirst for pleasure will continue to dominate your life and keep you away from knowing the soul. The body, mind, and speech need to be disciplined. The path of spiritual practices helps supplement the path of discipline. Spiritual practices such as fasting, mantras, studying under an enlightened one help one invite and burn karma so that the heaviness of ignorance is removed from the soul. Acharya Shree gives examples of inner and outer practices.

Paryushan 2020 - Day 4 - The Path of Innocence

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Fri, 2 Oct 2020 17:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives deep into explaining deceitfulness and lies, which takes one away from their own innocence and flow. When a person deceives others, in truth, they are deceiving themselves. Deceitfulness is one of the kshayas, clouds, which cover the soul. And it is important that Karma doesn't forgive anyone -- it will always come back to you. The Path of Innocence is a backward journey to unlearn what others have taught you and given to you -- your mind and ideology -- and bring you to your innocent, childlike self where you were able to flow and live simply. Acharya Shree also covers the main blockages of liberation as it relates to maya -- illusion, deceitfulness.

Ep. 21 - Understanding and Flowing with Stress and Panic to Overcome Challenges, Negativity, & Crisis

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 29 Apr 2020 20:00:00 +0000

In this podcast, Acharya Shree inspires you to go to the root of issues and face your challenges. Acharya Shree discusses how suppressed problems often go unnoticed unless triggered by an outside cause. Because we exaggerate problems and magnify them unnecessarily, it creates negativity within us. It is better to learn how to face challenges in life, in a positive and optimistic way, versus being affected by it. According to Acharya Shree, problems are like a pinch of ashes placed into a cup of milk. The ashes should not take away the flavor of the milk. Unfortunately, people get so affected by problems, make them bigger than what they are, resist and suppress their problems, and because of this people do not heal, they cannot flow, they are constantly stressed, all which lead to a weakened immune system which makes them susceptible to disease and other health issues.

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 8 Apr 2020 02:35:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh reminds listeners that what is most important is having LIFE, a human body, a precious instrument that needs to be taken care of. Money is a material thing...it comes and goes. No matter what stay positive, be creative, trust yourself that you will figure out how to overcome economic hardship, whether it's a loss of business, losing your job, or being without a steady income. What matters most is being positive. The more we are positive, collectively, the sooner the Coronavirus/COVID-19 will be less and less. Acharya Shree also talks about how to make decisions amidst confusion, despair and fear and WHY this is all happening -- the Karma side of things.

Ep. 18 - The Nature of Soul

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives deep into explaining what the soul is and its nature. He shares how all souls are basically the same in essence and nature and that the only thing that makes us different is each individual soul's karma. The soul has a sense of aliveness, is shapeless, formless, eternal, blissful, and powerful among other symptoms. Acharya Shree describes how even the soul's nature reflects these amazing things, it still suffers as a result of its own karma and being surrounded by pain. Enjoy this episode and continue to learn about soul and liberation.

Ep. 17 - The Benefits of Studying Under an Enlightened Master

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 4 Sep 2019 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh beautifully explains the reasons why its important to learn directly from an enlightened one as often times teachings will be missed from books, videos, and podcasts - the presence, energy, and aliveness are missing. When you learn in person, you can jump into the depths of your soul. According to Acharya Shree, an enlightened master is seeking master-potential in a student. They don't want to amass a lot of followers, they are selective and seeking the real student who can become a teacher and a master themselves. By learning directly, the benefits include the shortcut to enlightenment, direct knowledge, guidance to stay on track, and becoming your own master.

Ep 15. Monkhood and the Multiple Paths to Truth

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh discusses the main differences between the path of monkhood and the householder, and the benefits of each. Acharya Shree says the path of monkhood is a shortcut to enlightenment because of their level of discipline and using all of their energy to grow on the spiritual path. A householder, a non-monk, can also attain enlightenment without being a monk -- it takes longer, though not impossible. In this episode, Acharya Shree also shares what he looks for in a potential female or male monk.

Ep 14. Enlightened Living & Going Beyond Escape

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Fri, 5 Jul 2019 14:37:12 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh uses his soft and gentle humor to explain enlightened living. For most, people believe that enlightened masters just sit around being serious, whereas this is not always true. Once a person becomes enlightened, they will continue to do the things they were doing before. Nothing changes for them as far as their lifestyle because the awakening is the biggest shift -- they see and know all things. Acharya Shree also touches on the topic of spiritual people having this idea of running away to the forest to meditate all day. He considers this escaping reality versus practicing spirituality. One is fooling themselves because they are still attached to the world, therefore, the emotions will be triggered by nature instead of humans.

Ep 13. Non-Violence and Its Role to Achieve True Peace

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 9 Jan 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh discusses further the state of non-violence, the myths and misconceptions, and how it compares to the love a mother has for her own child and how it must be expanded and extend to all living beings. It is not enough to love only a few individuals in your life, especially your children. One must love and extend compassion towards all living beings as if they were fully interconnected and not separate from the individual. Acharya Shree also explains that there is a "spiritual" non-violence and "gross" non-violence, where one applies to the soul and the other to the society. It is more important to focus on achieving personal non-violence vs. trying to changing others and the world.

Ep. 12 Self-Analysis to Achieve Highest State of Non-Violence

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 21:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh deeply explains what non-violence (ahimsa) is. Non-violence is usually understood as non-reaction and no violence in thoughts, actions and speech especially amidst conflict. Acharya Shree transcends this common world view and discusses that the real non-violence is the actual nature of the soul and that the karma and clouds surrounding it are the violence which blocks the soul from freedom. To achieve total freedom, Acharya Shree shares a practical way to eliminate the violence through the technique of self-analysis.

Ep. 9 Tirthankaras: Who Are They?

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 21:16:24 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh describes who the Tirthankaras are and their role in the universe and their purpose. He also clarifies misconceptions about them as taught in Jainism. Through the Tirthankaras, the spiritual teachings continued to grow and expand throughout millions of years. What we know as spirituality today is rooted in the Tirthankaras teachings, found only in the Samanic Tradition.

Ep 7. The Transition from Religion to Spirituality

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh explains the crucial period that some seekers experience when transitioning from religion to spirituality or leaving one teacher or path behind for the real spiritual master. Seekers often times experience guilt, which Acharya Shree says is the greatest sin -- carrying a karmic heaviness doesn't help the soul flourish. By becoming a clean state, surrendering, and not comparing teachers, teachings, and paths to one another, one can be clear to fully understand and absorb a master's teachings to help them liberate their souls.

Ep 6. Fake Spiritual Teachers & Gurus

info@siddhayatantirthproductions.org (Siddhayatan Tirth Productions) — Wed, 30 May 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Acharya Shree Yogeesh dives into the controversial subject of fake spiritual teachers, gurus, and masters. If a student is a real spiritual student, one will know if the teacher is real. Most students are not "real" with the qualities and symptoms as discussed in previous episodes. Acharya Shree reminds us that there have been fake teachers in the past, there are fake teachers now, and there will be fake teachers in the future. The important thing is to recognize the symptoms of one who is not real even though they seem popular, are well-versed and educated, have a charismatic personality and are great speakers. One of the main qualities is that the teacher has renounced the world -- if they are indulged in luxury, gaining massive followership and fame, trick and fool people, it already shows they are not real.
